So it’s probably the old marquee.

That’s a good question. The Sept. 07 link stated that the old marquee was gone. Perhaps they put it in storage, or they created a lookalike. I don’t know the answer to that one.

During the 1960’s through 1970’s the theatre was operated by a few chains. Statewide Theatres, Century, Loew’s and a short time by GCC, before going Independent. The theatre had a small lobby and had a balcony too.

So sad this one is gone.

Yes, the Rocky Horror Show was an event in Covina from around
1977-1980. The Midnight shows were something—prize give-a-ways, great pre-show music, funny staff. The city, though, was not too happy with it.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show used to screen weekly at this venue until July ‘91. I think the theater itself was shut down circa 1992.
